If there's one thing I want you to take away from this article, it's this: testing harness is the most important thing for vibe-coding. Not prompt engineering, not fancy plugins, just constraining your AI outside AI toolchain. I'm calling it harness because it's not only tests. It's tests, types, linters, and any other automated checks you can put in place. The more you rely on AI, the more harness you need.
Hast mentioned that they trust their unit tests and integration tests individually, and all of them together as a whole. They have no end-to-end tests: We achieved this by using good separation of concerns, modularity, abstraction, low coupling, and high cohesion. These mechanisms go hand in hand with TDD and pair programming. The result is a better domain-driven design with high code quality. Previously, they had more HTTP application integration tests that tested the whole app, but they have moved away from this (or just have some happy cases) to more focused tests that have shorter feedback loops, Hast mentioned.
PF4J expects that your plugin code has a class that extends org.pf4j.Plugin interface. And for running and stopping the plugin, methods start() and stop() of this interface will be called. But our service is expected to have completely pure logic - without any side effects - we need to bring these two worlds together - Java impure plugins start/stop and Scala pure logic.
Project Genie, which is currently only available for Google's AI Ultra subscribers, uses AI to build virtual worlds. That sounds interesting, if not necessarily revolutionary. Videogame developers already model and build virtual worlds all the time. Project Genie's simple concept, though, belies the tech's potential impact. The new system, and the Genie 3 model behind it, have the potential to forever change how videogames are built and played.
Also: This Linux distro has one of the smartest security features I've seen (and I've tested dozens) However, that's not to say someone with minimal familiarity with the command line would fail with this distribution. For example, if you only need open-source software, NixOS could be a viable option. If, however, you need apps like Chrome, Slack, and Spotify, you might run into some frustration that will send you packing back to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Windows.
Databricks today announced the general availability of Lakebase on AWS, a new database architecture that separates compute and storage. The managed serverless Postgres service is designed to help organizations build faster without worrying about infrastructure management. When databases link compute and storage, every query must use the same CPU and memory resources. This can cause a single heavy query to affect all other operations. By separating compute and storage, resources automatically scale with the actual load.
The reason for this is Snap - a Linux application packaging format - creates a local Trash folder for each VS Code version, one that's separate from the system-managed Trash, according to a VS Code bug report dating back to November 11, 2024. Not only that, but Snap keeps older versions of VS Code after updates, potentially multiplying the number of local Trash folders and the trashed-but-not-deleted files therein. Emptying the system Trash folder doesn't affect the local instances.
Benevity is the way the world does good, providing companies (and their employees) with technology to take social action on the issues they care about. Through giving, volunteering, grantmaking, employee resource groups and micro-actions, we help most of the Fortune 100 brands build better cultures and use their power for good. We're also one of the first B Corporations in Canada, meaning we're as committed to purpose as we are to profits.
One thing I always do when I prompt a coding agent is to tell it to ask me any questions that it might have about what I've asked it to do. (I need to add this to my default system prompt...) And, holy mackerel, if it doesn't ask good questions. It almost always asks me things that I should have thought of myself.
This video course will teach you how to use Gemini CLI to bring Google's AI-powered coding assistance directly into your terminal. After you authenticate with your Google account, this tool will be ready to help you analyze code, identify bugs, and suggest fixes-all without leaving your familiar development environment. Imagine debugging code without switching between your console and browser, or picture getting instant explanations for unfamiliar projects.
Wasmer has released Wasmer 7, an upgrade of its WebAssembly runtime that introduces an experimental async API that enables full async support in Python. The update also brings support for dynamic linking to WASIX, broadening the platform's support for Python packages. Introduced January 30, Wasmer 7 introduces an experimental async API that offers first-class support for async functions in Python, unlocking powerful libraries such as SQLAlchemy and other Python packages that previously could not run, Wasmer said.
Industry professionals are realizing what's coming next, and it's well captured in a recent LinkedIn thread that says AI is moving on from being just a helper to a full-fledged co-developer - generating code, automating testing, managing whole workflows and even taking charge of every part of the CI/CD pipeline. Put simply, AI is transforming DevOps into a living ecosystem, one driven by close collaboration between human judgment and machine intelligence.
Creating your theme is the fun part. After you're done, the next step is to publish your theme so you - and others - can enjoy your creation! You'd think that publishing a VS Code extension is an easy process, but it's not. (Maybe I'm used to the ease of publishing npm packages and take registries for granted.) Anyway, you have to publish your theme in two places: Visual Studio Marketplace for VS Code users Open VSX for other text editors
Salesforce data migration sounds straightforward on paper. In practice, it almost never is. The system goes live, everyone gets access, and nothing seems obviously wrong at first. Then little questions start popping up. A report doesn't quite line up. A dashboard only makes sense after a few extra filters. Sales reps pull numbers into Excel just to feel sure. Before long, Salesforce is technically running, but confidence in the data hasn't caught up.
The software industry is collectively hallucinating a familiar fantasy. We visited versions of it in the 2000s with offshoring and again in the 2010s with microservices. Each time, the dream was identical: a silver bullet for developer productivity, a lever managers can pull to make delivery faster, cheaper, and better. Today, that lever is generative AI, and the pitch is seductively simple: If shipping is bottlenecked by writing code, and large language models can write code instantly, then using an LLM means velocity should explode.
Olimpiu Pop: Hello everybody. I'm Olimpiu Pop, an InfoQ editor, and I have in front of me Erica Pisani, one of the track hosts of QCon London 2025, and a very important track in my opinion. One that is important in general, but even more important these days. And the name of the track was performance and sustainability, which seems to be two opposing words. So, Erica, please introduce yourself.
The Architect Elevator is a metaphor-in reality, the company leadership may be sitting on the same building floor as you; my car metaphors could fill an entire book; and " Architecture is Selling Options " has become the anchor of many architecture keynotes. So, at least my world of architecture is full of metaphors.

Microsoft has announced a three-phase approach to phase out New Technology LAN Manager (NTLM) as part of its efforts to shift Windows environments toward stronger, Kerberos-based options. The development comes more than two years after the tech giant revealed its plans to deprecate the legacy technology, citing its susceptibility to weaknesses that could facilitate relay attacks and allow bad actors to gain unauthorized access to network resources.
Add window.setBorderless(bool) to toggle borderless mode while the Neutralinojs app is running. Add modes.chrome.browserBinary option to set custom browser binary path under the chrome mode. If this field is specified, the framework will try to launch Chrome from there. If it fails, the framework will initiate the Chrome binary search as usual: Add the modes.window.useLogicalPixels: true|false option to activate DPI-aware sizing based on the operating system's display scale factor.
When I moved to VMware, I expected things to continue much as before, but COVID disrupted those plans. When Broadcom acquired VMware, the writing was on the wall and though it took a while, I eventually got made redundant. That was almost 18 months ago. In the time since, I've taken an extended break with overseas travel and thoughts of early retirement. It's been a while therefore since I've done any direct developer advocacy.
The implementation is straightforward for those running the latest Nightly version. Users can jump into the action by right-clicking an active tab or selecting two tabs at once. According to the official Firefox Nightly News report: "You can right click on a tab to add it to a split view, and from there select the other tab you'd like to view in the split. Or, multi-select 2 tabs with Ctrl/Cmd, and choose 'Open in Split View' from the tab context menu."
Oracle is taking steps to "repair" its relationship with the MySQL community, according to sources, by moving "commercial-only" features into the database application's Community Edition and prioritizing developer needs. The "new era" was discussed at a pre-FOSDEM MySQL and Friends event in Belgium. According to a summary seen by The Register, it focused on reinvigorating the MySQL community after a period under Big Red's watch in which the project's headcount fell and developers considered alternatives to the venerable database.
In 2026, fragmented data and software complexity cost UK businesses significantly, with over a third of company leaders experiencing revenue loss as a result of delays, inconsistencies and missed opportunities. In fact, data goes on to suggest that the UK economy as a whole rakes in a staggering £32 billion in annual costs from underutilised tools, failed implementations, and integration issues, all of which can be attributed to the disconnected systems employees engage with day to day.
